Description

Currently we have a custom JSDoc type setup and was created before typescript supported JSDoc types natively. It's about time we modernize this 😅

We need to refactor how the types get emitted to just using regular TypeScripts and emit out the file.

Also, while you're at it, we need to check out the doc types and verify that everything is correct.

So all the code will remain JS but be types with JSDocs. Start with the types in core https://github.com/DavidWells/analytics/tree/master/packages/analytics-core/src

The "types": "../../node_modules/.bin/jsdoc -t ../../node_modules/tsd-jsdoc/dist -r ./src/ -d _temp-types && node scripts/types.js", is ollllddddd and clunky.

Thanks @claude

Research direction

Start in packages/analytics-core/src and inspect the package types command that invokes jsdoc, tsd-jsdoc, and scripts/types.js. Review how the core JSDoc types are currently emitted and verify the documented types as you work. Done means the code remains JavaScript with JSDoc types, while type generation uses the modernized setup and emits correct files.
